Your job on this page will be to look at the issues, topics and characterizations that are still in today's world. Work to find similarities and differences between teens' lives in the early 1950's and teens' lives today. Are there issues that Holden or his peers have that are still a part of teenagers' lives today? Work to find modern day references to Catcher in the Rye, and make some guesses about why others are trying to connect to the book. Do these references help you to understand events or situations in the book?
